Of 313 patients whose outpatient parenteral antimicrobial therapy was managed by an ID physician, only 39 [12.5%, 95% CI (8.8%-16.1%)] had clinical decisions influenced by erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), C-reactive protein (CRP), or both. ESR/CRP ordering was associated with $530 in excess cost per treatment course (average duration 5.1 weeks) representing a diagnostic stewardship opportunity.
在313例由感染病科医生管理门诊胃肠外抗菌治疗的患者中，只有39例[12.5%，95%可信区间(8.8%-16.1%)]的临床决策受到红细胞沉降率(ESR)、C反应蛋白(CRP)或两者的影响。每次治疗疗程（平均持续时间5.1周）中，ESR/CRP检查的额外费用为530美元，这代表了一个诊断管理的机会。
